Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bengals have a glut of running backs but are believed to be interested in Alexander as a possible backup to starter Rudi Johnson. HC Marvin Lewis also said Chris Perry is ready for on-field work beginning May 13. Kenny Watson and DeDe Dorsey are the team's other tailbacks. Kenny Irons, the team’s second-round draft pick in 2007, is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp in July after tearing an ACL last August. Given Johnson's injury issues last season (and Perry's career-long injury issues), Alexander could provide some insurance.
